We have dealt with john over the years /always been upfront and honest just order another pup and i can not believe he needed to make payments over $800 anyone that wants a great rott pup he is the man to see
I have known John Bernard from Old World Kennel Rottweilers for quite awhile now. In spring of 2014 we put down an $800.00 deposit for a puppy out of his female Tiana von der Alten x Ex vom Gruntenblueck. His website states that if a puppy is not available he will reimburse the deposit.
Sadly, Tiana only had one female puppy. He told us that even if this one puppy up being show quality that he would not be able to guarantee 100% that we would get her and told us that he is really tight on money because of owing quite a few people a deposit so we told him to transfer our deposit to his next breeding which he said would be either with Tiana von der Alten Welt x Ismar von der Tonberger Hoehe OR Olivia von der Alten Welt X Dago vom Turnleberg.
Our agreement was that whoever he had a litter out of first, we would get a puppy.
He said that he is going to have a litter first out of Olivia so we waited for a puppy out of her. On the 28th of December 2014 I got an email that stated Olivia had been bred to a different stud named Kito. I had voiced some concerns over the German Rottweilers' energy level on a rottweiler discussion forum that he found out about so when I asked why a different stud was used than what we had agreed upon he told me that " Before I get a refund on any deposit, I am going to need to come clean with people on that forum and tell them the real story." The funny thing is, I did tell the real story.
Our conversation ended with me saying we would take legal action against him. In the meantime, I sent him a certified letter which he refused to accept and sent back to me. We were in the process of filing a court case against him when he sent a message on facebook asking for me to call him if I want it resolved. When I called him our conversation didn't get anywhere as he AGAIN wanted me to put a post on the forum stating what I said had been wrong and said that only if I did that would he pay me the deposit back.
In a later message he then said that HE would write a statement for the forum and that if I accepted it and copied, pasted and posted it and sent him proof of doing so, he would start making payments on the deposit. The statement was false in a lot of ways as he kept pointing out that he didn't owe me a deposit due to him originally having had a puppy available but me turning it down which was not the case.
I wish someone would have warned me about this unethical breeder that lies, steals and extorts money from customers. The worst part about it is that he claims to be a Christian which was one of the reasons I chose to go thru him but it just shows that not everyone that claims to be a Christian lives the life of a Christian.
I hope this is a warning to anyone out there considering doing business with John Bernard, think twice, because if he treats you anything close to how he treated me you will be out a lot of money and will have no puppy to show for it even a year later.
